At the beginning of summer, Mark has $200 in savings and Ryan has $350. The brothers have mowing jobs set up for the summer. Bec

ause Mark is older, he receives $20 for each mowing job and Ryan receives $15. The brothers’ parents pay for the fuel used to mow, so all of the money the brothers earn goes to savings.
Write two equations, one for Mark and one for Ryan, to represent the money in savings (s) based on the number of mowing jobs (j) Mark and Ryan do.
Determine the number of mowing jobs it takes for Mark to have the same amount in savings as Ryan does. Show your work.

Answer:

  • 30 jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mark</u>

  • Initial amount - $200
  • Earning - $20*j
  • Saving is: S = 20j + 200

<u>Ryan</u>

  • Initial amount - $350
  • Earning - $15*j
  • Saving is: S = 15j + 350

<u>If they get same saving, then the equations will be equal:</u>

  • 20j + 200 = 15j + 350
  • 20j - 15j = 350 - 200
  • 5j = 150
  • j = 150/5
  • j = 30

The answer is 30 mowing jobs

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function? {(2, –2), (1, 5), (–2, 2), (1, –3), (8, –1)} {(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1
ra1l [238]
A function can't have x repeating any of the same number twice for example the first one (2, -2), (1, 5), (-2, 2), (1,-3), (8,-1) you have two 1's (1,5) and (1,-3) the x is the first number. Now a function can have the same y value. So your answer is (3, -1), (7,1), (-6,-1), (9,1), and (2,-1) you have to have all different x values in order for it to be a function. Hope that helps.

Does ANYONE know?????
daser333 [38]

Answer:

150 votes were casted

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we know that Amy received 48 votes. Then Neil received 1/4 as many votes as Amy. So we can divide 48 by 4:

48/4=12

Neil got 12 votes. We also know that Neil and Amy's votes together is only 40% of the votes casted in total. So we can add their votes together and then find a fifth of the votes casted by dividing the 40% in half:

12+48=60

60/2=30

So now 30 votes are 20% of the total votes casted, now we just have to multiply by 5:

30*5=150

150 votes were casted
